"It must be said, the history of Konami’s soccer franchise is a difficult one to follow, given the fact that depending on the region, the game launched under completely different names. For the Japanese market, the series was usually called Winning Eleven, while for Europe, it’s more commonly known as Pro Evolution Soccer. Nevertheless, under the different facades is an extremely polished sports game that has won over millions of fans worldwide, leading them away from the repetitive FIFA franchise."
